Balder Side Sword
There is literally no reason to not use the Grass Crest Shield in every playthrough. Sorry, that’s just how it was programmed.

>>725243598>No 100% phys blockTrash. Even if I didn't want a shield, I'd rather use a parrying dagger on the left hand for easy parries.

silver knight straight sword is underrated
>>725244991it's slower than the other swords so i hate it.balder sword is the best one cause i said so.
>>725245151it's like 1% slower man. it has really cool unique heavy attacks
>>725243189Early-game dex build are the most assine unfun garbage imaginable.
>>725243189rollslop reddit genre
>>725246314Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are soulful games, regardless of how annoying and unlikable 99% of their fans are. Every other souls game, yes including Sekiro and Bloodborne and every other "soulslike" is by definition slop though
Torrenting DS:PTDE rn. Are there any mods besides DSFix I should be aware of?
>>725249269Not really. There isn't anything else as far as fixes or quality of life, or standard/widespread mods, if that's what you mean. Anything else would be changing the intended experience
>>725243189i use grass crest shield/ fuck you, bitch.
>>725249710>fixes or quality of life, or standard/widespread modsYeah, I should've clarified that I was mainly referring to these. The remaster runs just fine on my PC. I don't want to encounter any control/performance issues with PTDE that would force me to play the remaster instead, since I much prefer the visuals of the original game.

>>725243189i never felt like the ninja flip ring was worth it after the nerf. a combination of FaP, havels or cloranthy ring always seemed more solid for the more dodge focused characters i've made.
>>725253669I usually run FAP ring + either Havel's or Wolf, depending on if I need extra equip load for fashion souls or if I need extra poise for a particular encounter. Cloranthy ring is ok but I just don't get enough use out of it to make up for the ugly green effect it adds around your character
>>725244307The point is to wear it on your back for the stamina regen retard
The claymore is the zwei for homosexuals
>>725253669>after the nerfI loved DS1 and especially DS2 pre nerfs, I wish there was preserved online versions of them with separate servers you could hop on and play.
>>725254262And the Zwei is the weapon for Venezuelan Cuckolds
>>725254487Nah everyone loves the zwei. It's the most consistently fantastic weapon in From's games
>>725254670You got cucked and deported OnlyAfro
>>725243189Only use unupgraded broken straight sword or you didn't beat the game
>>725244220unfathomably based>>725243598It's ugly and the aura ruins it even further so anyone who equips it is a tasteless moron
>>725244220>>725255815>No R2 PokesCringe
>>725243189if your not tumblebuffing your infused boss weapons while RTSR and power within for *every* boss, you're female you have a vagina

>>725255947the poke is the exact reason it's cringeit's infinitely gayer than the slamHOWEVER the zwei's slam is gayer than the greatsword's heavy pokesorry I don't make the rules
anyone who didnt beat the game with a straight sword and prism stones exclusively played on godmode.
>>725256184Int weapons suck ass in DS1 except the MLGS
>>725256190Slamming a Greatsword like an ape is retarded. Might as well use a club.
>>725255504>>725256302you seem upset
>>725243189>no Zweihander
>>725256663The bastard sword just looks 100x cooler. Sorry, I don't make the rules as some would say
>>725256803zweihander was borderline for me. it almost made the list. not as bad as the ones i listed though.
>>725243189We need to expand this list for other From Games.I'll start.
At what point exactly did the Souls series go from a slow paced atmospheric exploration game with the occasional random boss encounter to a tryhard edgy game where you traversed looping areas to reach a le epic tricked u!! boss that did anime flip flops with nonsensical orchestral music blaring over it?
What baffles me is anyone playing this series at all.
>>725256838Baemore is peak knightcore aesthetics
>>725257246Bloodborne
>>725243189What's wrong with Claymore?I mean besides OP being shit and getting his ass handed to him by several players using it.It had pretty versatile moveset.
>>725257872Retard.
>>725258137>>725257872>>725257246unironically flamelurker is still the hardest souls boss ever
>>725257246>>725257872Having played all souls games multiple times all that changed between them is the combat pacing.You make it like DeS through DaS II had some kind of fundamental "slow pace exploration focused" thing that From "sold out" from with later games.No, that's not what fucking happened. Miyazacki simply blamed From Software's "Design a big fucking castle and then we'll fill the gaps" approach to map design for DaS being unfinished. They never looked back to DeS level design for some retarded reason and it was probably for the desire to un-instance their games which is obvious by Elden Ring coming into existence.So yeah, coupled with developmental delays and other shit DaS III and BB suffered a bit in terms of maps being intricately interconnected and "sequence break" approved.Again, not a result of the "action focus" and it's not like the later games have worse actual level design, it's just more linear in how zones connect.>Ree I want muh slow combat where everything has a delay it was so much more methodical!The challenge has directly scaled with each game, if you fight DaS Bosses at current speed there wouldn't be a difference.

Gayest DS thread on /v/ in quite a while.

Claymore is a good weapon, Zweihander is too slow. I agree Grass Crest Shield is annoying because it looks silly to walk around with a shield on your back if you're using a greatsword or something and the extra stam regen really isn't that much to where it would swing the tide of battle in your favour.

For me, it’s Grant or the Black Knight Greataxe.For dexfag builds, parry dagger offhand, rapier main hand.I don’t play casters much because it’s kinda boring, with the exception of spellsword type builds. Miracles are also fun.
>>725243189>Claymore >Grass crest shield>Dark wood grainI use all of these, and I have never used reddit
